Which way to point your antenna in Converse

Point your antenna SSW, at about 200°. The main network towers for Converse sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WHMB-TV, WISH-TV, WXIN and WTTK, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles south of Converse (200° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Converse at fair strength or better, 55% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Converse, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Converse

The farthest main network tower for Converse is WXIN (Fox), 51 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
